I for one think that requiring EVERYBODY to have health insurance is a good thing
....and if you can't afford insurance, then it will be provided to you free by taxpayers who have more than you and therefore may not need as much. The government (in return for a large cut to cover its extended costs) will see to it that such wealth transfers will occur in every case. Like it does always and with everything.

...but anyway, what I'm curious about is - What if I want to be self insured? What if I am wealthy and can afford it? What if I'm not very wealthy, but am in the habit of traveling abroad, to cheap countries, for my tests and procedures? Should I still be forced to pay for something I do not intend to use? Would that not be highway robbery?
